Xiaomi Phones
Hi I'm planning to buy the Xiaomi Redmi Note 7, but before I buy it does anyone know if it is compatible with T-Mobile's network? I don't know if this is needed but I am from SoCal.
According to GSMarena.com there are two versions of the Note 7: 48MP & 12MP. The 48MP is for the "Global Market" and the 12 MP is for India. Neither seem suited for use with T-Mobile. The only LTE band listed in their specs that is at all compatible with T-Mobile is band 5. T-Mobile only has band 5 LTE in Myrtle Beach, SC. So, my advice is to avoid this phone. If you have a different model number, feel free to post it.
Hola,
At this time I am still looking for a device that will support 5G networks. however I can tell you that from personal experience, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 (not Mix 2S) and the Xiaomi Mi 8 Lite work very well on T-Mobile as I have both devices and many of my family members have the Mi 8 lite. They work great, have grate RAM and storage sizes and (4 to 12 GB RAM, and 64 to 512 GB Storage).
One of the best parts about them is the cost.
